This exhibition by Marcelo Brodsky, presented at Espacio El Dorado within the framework of BIENALSUR, consists of three projects including intervened photographs from different parts of the world. It is in Marcelo Brodsky's choice of archive material where his conceptual intentions a mostly revealed. Founding Myths and Carnal Relationship rebuild the Colombian conflict based on an individual account taken from the files of Colombian Army officers. 1968, The Fire of Ideas evokes the revolutionary spirit of the movements that erupted around the world in 1968; and Migrants creates a current event in collaboration with the press. These images refer to a specific period through events that resonate in the collective memory of countries. They are witnesses to a time that seems to scream what at some point was whispered or simply not said. Brodsky's interventions feature data, colour and highlighted facts that transport the information of the image to a time that is finally prolonged, a time that is all but static. The everyday life around the great events that marked the memory and generated common traumas proposes an extension of the debate, where the actions are regarded as apparent photograms that record precedents and consequences.
